Charging a guy into the boards on top of all that… then NOT going with Mc???

SOOOO cowardly and weak by Neil. Tuck tail is right.

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:13:33 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1579013#comment-167453I can’t stand how the media often calls Chris Neil a tough guy, the only players he drops the gloves with are smaller players who don’t fight, and the only time he fights another teams fighter is when he jumps them when they are at the end of a shift.

I was at the game on Sat vs the Leafs, right along the glass, Orr challenged Neil to a fight, Neil lowered is head and skated away, later Neil was in Reimer’s face so Fraser challenged him, he said no and ran away. Then once again Neil is in Reimer’s face, Obyrne goes after Neil, Neil skates away then grabs Kadri of all people to try to fight, so Orr, Fraser and Obyrne he wont fight, but Kadri he will? And hes supposed to be a tough guy?!

Add that to the fact that he always had bodyguards on his team to protect him, McGratten and Carkner have even said that’s how it was in Ottawa, looks like Kassian is his new bodyguard.

You try to criticize every other team all the while failing to see the douchebags on your own. Neil was smart not to fight, because unlike MacIntyre, Neil is still an actual hockey player who’s team is better with him on the ice and not just a goon like MacIntyre. As far as turtling up, Cooke has always been the first skate tuck his tail. Little b!tch runs his chops all night to Del Zotto and Stepan but as soon as Clowe and Asham step up he runs for the hills. He does it nightly.

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 02:57:36 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1579013#comment-167355Why should Neil fight for no reason? I hate the idea in the NHL that if you hit a guy hard or get in another player’s face, you need to answer the bell and fight a tough guy on the other team. 99% of fights in the NHL are clown fights. Cooke shouldn’t have had to fight Neil in the first 5 minutes. Neil should have to fight MacIntyre because he was mixing it up and getting in people’s faces all night. The only good fights in the NHL are in the heat of the moment, preferably without the involvement of 2 goons/”enforcers” (like a MacIntyre).

Is a reflection of his idiot owner and crybaby gm. Its sad because Ottawa is a really good team with a ton of talent and have done a great job with all of the injuries they have had. If he wants to fight take on engelland glass or macintyre. Now he runs away from Murray. Hahaha. What a joke. Stick to Bertuzzo’s face by Alfredsson was classless. Shocking coming from a player like him.

You can’t even fart in the direction of Ottawa tonight without ending up in the sin-bin. Chrissy Neil’s an embarrassment. Nice bow to the chops when a guys not looking, but puts his tampon in when MacIntyre confronts him. Please stop all the whining about Matt Cooke you hypocrites.

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:42:08 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1579013#comment-167307Not a “dirty/illegal” in terms of the rulebook, but a hit you just hate seeing in the NHL with all these concussion problems going around. Like if Matt Cooke did it, I’ll never give Chris Neil the benefit of the doubt. He’s out there trying to run people all the time. Not saying he’s doing anything illegal, but he’s also never gonna get the benefit of a borderline call either. Just happy the youngster is ok.

Neither of those guys should feel inclined to fight someone bigger than them who can beat them in a fight, especially when neither did anything wrong.
